Abstract
An enlightening conversation between Alex and Ray Griffiths about the importance of mitochondria in health and disease, to the extent that Ray has written a whole book on this topic. They delve into the mechanisms and explore how mitochondria orchestrate numerous processes in our cells and not just energy production. They discuss mitochondrial dysfunction and ways to support mitochondria including potential functional laboratory testing options. Ray believes that as practitioners, we should be looking at the research to see how mitochondria may be involved in the pathophysiology of any health condition that we are presented with, such is their key role as environmental sensors in the body.
